Coordinated Multi-AP (Co-AP)

Q: What is Coordinated Multi-AP?

Coordinated Multi-AP (Co-AP) is a 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) (IEEE Wi-Fi 7) feature set in which multiple access points collaborate at the physical and MaC layers to improve reliability, throughput, and latency for associated client devices. Expanded Explanation 1. Technical Function and Core Characteristics Co-AP refers to a group of mechanisms in IEEE Wi-Fi 7 that enable multiple access points to jointly transmit and receive data or coordinate channel access and beamforming. The standard defines

Coordinated Multi-AP is a Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be) feature set where multiple access points collaborate at the PHY and MAC layers to enhance reliability, throughput, and latency in dense enterprise WLANs, using joint transmission, coordinated beamforming, and coordinated spatial reuse.
